Unlike Unreal Tournament 2003, which places stress on the video portion of
a system, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter is very CPU dependent. The graph
above shows what we should expect at a low resolution in the game. It is interesting
to note that the 2.8GHz processor at the heart of the NP8886 was only 3% behind
the 3.06GHz processor that powered the Hypersonic Sonic Aviator.

The story is pretty much the same as the resolution is increased to 1024x768x32.
The gap between the Hypersonic machine and the Sager one increases slightly
here to 4%. Both systems are still dominated by the power of the Radeon 9000
Pro in our desktop system.

The lead offered by the Hypersonic machine over the Sager one creeps up to
5% while at 1280x1024x32 but the story still remains essentially the same: the
faster the processor in the notebook, the faster Serious Sam 2 plays.
